Mind at 2280, it is still a double digit advance on the year, but its the technology falloff thats getting a lot of attention here. Its led by amazon but concerns as well that the Technology Sector is not immune from some of these issues and then we throw in oil, whats happening with exxonmobil and chevron, as expected, reporting some lousy numbers. Its all weighing on the markets this first trading day of the month. Here to detail that, jackie deangelis. Hey, jackie. Jackie good afternoon, neil. Thats right. This really highlights the fact that earnings matter when it comes to the stock market. You take into account the fact that these companies were reporting earnings that only account for about two weeks of the Coronavirus Impact and we wonder whats going to happen when we get the Second Quarter numbers. But amazon and apple are really weighing today and amazon just shows you, its one of the stocks that everybody has left because theyre saying amazon is doing well during this, peopl
Next, from the Ronald Reagan president ial foundation and institute, six former law clerks recall working with Supreme Court Justice Sandra day oconnor. This is part of an allday conference commemorating the 38th anniversary of Justice Oconnors senate confirmation. [ applause ] thank you. Its really an honor and a privilege to be here. So, i was asked just to say a few words to introduce the next panel. And i think i would start by saying something that probably we all know, which is the court is a fairly powerful institution. Now, of course, it wasnt always so, though. One of the signs of how powerful it is is that you really do see in any president ial election people saying it matters who you vote for. You should vote for x rather than y because theyre going to pick the next Supreme Court justices. But if you think about why that really is so, the Court Decides about 80 cases a year.

San francisco a lot of cloud cover and a little bit of drizzle reported. A bit of a flow bringing in some of the moisture and its going to bring some drizzle for the coastal areas even down through san jose, a bit of the light rain. A look at satellite radar. The low clouds for the first half of our day and then eventually well get the sunshine, so the clouds arent going to linger all day long which is always going to be great news.

But and about 75 of them need to be decided but theyre not the reason the court is such a powerful institution and not the reason people say that about who you should vote for in the president ial election. In any given term theres typically five or six cases really the reason we care about the court. And those are the cases that have truly Significant Impact on our politics, on our society, on our government. There are also, though, typically cases, the reason theyre so hard and part of the reason that makes them so important is the law runs out before you get to the decision. So how do we justify giving so much power to what amounts to a kind of monarchal institution in cases like that . And its not actually so easy to do if you think about it.
